WHEN republicans have held power,
in a state or in the nation, they have
always taken the initiative in presenting
declarations of principles and in making
nominations, in order that their oppo-
nents might present their case fully and
freely; in short, have challenged the
opposing party. Now that the demo-
Gratis are in power in New York state
they propose to wait, the same as in
times past, for the republicans to
" show their hand" There is no open,
manly challenge, which sets forth demo-
cratic principles and candidates, for the
republicans to meet in fair contest; but
sneaking desire to follow on in the
footsteps of the republican party plat
form, steal all the thunder, and profess
a virtue which, whatever there is of it,
is purloined.-HdrUord Post.

school hours. Each pupil should have
from twenty-five to thirty cubic feet
of fresh air to breathe every minute.
Foul air causes dullness, nervousness,
headache, colds, catarrh and numerous
other disorders.
The ground on which a school build
ing is located should be thoroughly
under-drained, and underneath it should
be protected so that no water from the
roofs or from the ground around can
penetrate the cellar or sub-foor space.
Earth closets, and separate ones for the
different sexes, should be provided
near, but not in the school building,
and the passages to them covered. AT
the present time they are generally
denominations, detrimental to health
and morals. Seats in school-rooms
should be single, and of such heighth
that the pupils feet can rest on the
floor. The back of the seat should be
adapted to the curve of the body. The
circular makes further suggestions re-
garding desks, blackboards, ETC., which
are worth considering. All interested
in the building of school-houses should
procure copy of the circular

A Specimen Case.

The disposition of the civil service
commission to palliate and vindicate
the partisan doings of the administra-
ton and the subordinate officials has
been shown more than once during the
past two years. The Philadelphia post
office seems to furnish another ex-
ample of this favoritism. Postmaster
Harrity of that city was charged with
having violated the civil service rules,
in that when candidates were presented
for examination for vacancies the
papers were shown to certain appli-
cants before the examination; that a
majority of his appointees had been
democrats; that many of them cannot
spell ordinary words correctly or write
dramatically, and that men were dis
charged when there was no complaint
against them. The commission have
heard the case and proceed to apply a
coat of whitewash to Mr.. Harrity's pro-
ceedings, as follows: They hold that
the civil service examinations in the
post-oflice are every way fair and those
who say otherwise are unworthy of be-
lief. That Mr.. Harrity has appointed
one hundred ninetv-two democrats and
only two republicans to positions in the
post-onice is charged by the commits
sion to the fact that the republican
newspapers of Philadelphia encour-
aged the idea that no republicans need
expect to be appointed. In regard to
the removal of a large number of re-
publican clerks for political purposes,
they profess to believe that this is not
contrary to the civil service law. While
the law declares that removals shall not
be made for refusal to contribute to
political fund and for other specified
reasons, these commissioners profess
to believe that removals may neverthe-
less be made for any one or all of these
causes and hold good, though the man
who makes them may be punished.
According to their Interpretation the
law is nothing less than farce; and
the efforts of the commission appear to
be directed to making it as much of
farce as possible, so far as it is designed
to protect clerks from dismissal for
partisan purposes.

Sanitary SchOOl-HOuses.

The State Board of Health have re-
Gently issued a circular embodying
plans and suggestions relating to the
location and construction of school
houses in accordance with the most APP
proved sanitary rules. We observe that
this circular is ridiculed by one of our
state exchanges, on the ground that it
comes too late to be of practical use.
Unless no more school-houses are to be
built or none of the existing school
buildings are to be remodeled we fail
to see the force of this criticism. The
subject is certainly one of vital impor-
lance, and the board has carefully
studied papers and reports of individu-
ais and committees composed of the
most eminent sanitarians, giving what
ever is most valuable in the wide ex-
perience of others.
The circular says that the best loca-
ton for school-houses is on an eleva-
ton, natural mound or knoll, afford
ing natural drainage; or where these
natural advantages cannot be had, the
site should admit of thorough artificial
drainage. 1t should not be in the
vicinity of a marsh or any stagnant
water. Trees are desirable, but they
should not shade the building so as to
exclude air and light; and it should not
be built in any place where there is
likely to be noise and confusion. The
playground should be spacious. Free
circulation of air under the ground
floor should be provided for. The
building should not be more than two
stories high, and the material for con-
struction should not be inferior to that
adapted for the best houses. Dimen-
sions of rooms should be determined
by laws as to light, sound and capacity.
Thirty-eight by twenty-three feet is
about the model size and shape of
rooms, and about twelve feet in heighth
the area of window space Except in
the open country to be not less than
one-fourth of floor space. Doors should
open outward, entries roomy and halls
wide, stairs of easy ascent. Hard finish
is generally best for walls. Provision
should be made for drying wet gar
ments independent of the school-room
and wash-room would promote
cleanliness.
The water supply is matter of the
highest Importance; this should be
abundant, wholesome and convenient
of access. If obtained from wells these
should be free from the possibility OF
contamination by any sources of filth
The water supply should be far re-
moved from any barn-yard or Other
source of impurity. Where the ordin
airy stove is used for heating it should
be provided with sheet iron, or gal
vanized iron jacket, extending high
enough above the stove that the all
may be well heated. This jacket should
be open at the top and closely fastened
to the floor at the bottom. A pipe moi
less than six inches in diameter should
pass through the floor under the stove
to the external air, so as to admit {

The Ceremonies at Bennington.

Brief mention was made last week of the
laying of the cornerstone of the Benning-
ton battle monument. The weather could
not have been more proptious. The town
was full OF people, the number being esti-
mated at from 1900 to 5000. The princi-
pal public buildings and many private
houses We're deliberately decorated with
flags, and these decorations, together with
the uniforms of members of the Vermont
National Guard, who had their annual en-
campment at Bennington last week, and
the handsome regaia of the Knights
Templar and other societies gave the place
brilliant appearance. Business was prac-
tically suspended, everything being given
up to the exercises of the occasion. A great
procession was formed at half-past twelve,
under the direction of the chief marshal,
Colonel George w. Hooker, and consisted
of military, civic and Masonic divisions. In
the military division We're thirty-two COM
panies of New York National Guard and
the First Brigade National Guard of Yer
mont. Upon the staff of the chief marshal
were fifty prominent citizens of Vermont,
New York, New Hampshire and Massachu-
setts, and among those who participated in
the ceremonies were the governors of Yer
mont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Upon arriving at the monument a double
line was formed by the procession, through
which passed the grand officers and men,
bers of the Grand Lodge OF Vermont, to
position encircling the site of the monu-
ment. n natlOnal salute OF thlrty-elgnt guns
was fired by the Fuller battery, as the
Grand Lodge took it's place by the corner
stone. Most Worshipful Alfred A. Hall,
grand master, then proceeded with the Pc
cularly interesting ceremonies of laying
the cornerstone, at the conclusion of which
a salute was fired by the battery, and the
work was turned over to the governor of
the state, who accepted it in a brief address.
Governor 0rmsbee then turned it over to
the Monument Association, after its nspec-
ton and approval by the governors of New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, and it was
accepted in behalf of the association by
Hon. Benjamin f. Prescott, president of
the day. An Grafton was then delivered by
Hon. j. w. Stewart and benediction fol-
lowed by Rev, Isaac Jennings. a tin box,
containing various records, etc, was placed
in the corner stone by the grand treasurer
of the Grand Lodge. Among the organiza-
tons present We're several military COM
panies and Masonic bodies from New York,
New Hampshire and Massachusetts, All
of the arrangements were successfully car
red out, and the entire ceremony of laying
the stone was performed with unusual
smoothness, and nothing more impressive
was ever witnessed in Bennington.

Notes and Opinions,

A REMARK in this paper last week
concerning the " grange" appears to
have hit the II. Y. and Ph@nir in vul-
nerable places.
THE mugwumps are finding out in
the case of the President that even a
very influential tail cannot wag dog
forever.
THE Boston Herald has resurrected
Subsidy" Pomeroy to learn what the
republican plans are for 1888. He is
poor authority now.
THE II. ", the paper devoted to the
special mission of wheedling the farm
ers, was unusually bilious last week.
Its editor needs a vacation.

dental question: {" have no prefer

A Voluntary Suggestion.
WATERBURY,, August %, 1887

WATERBURY,, August ~, 1885,,
Editor Wdtcbmdn.-As pipe-laying for the
next governor and Northumberland is
being quite extensively carried on, | ask is
it not about time for the press Of Vermont
to request recognition, and / have two
names in mind, either of which would honor
the state, and if elected it would not be
brought about by their own manipulations
One is the venerable f. p. Walton of your
village; the other the respected A. n.
Swain of Rockingham. Like Caesar, they
are hon0rd0te men, yet unasSuming. They
are no beggars for office, and il elected it
could not be said that he was made governor
simply because he was once a ieutenant-gov-
ernor. Possibly Hon. b. D. Harris of Brat
tleboro, who | am assured aspires, may
claim recognition as newspaper man, since
it is the general verdict that he controls one
OF the BrattlehorO papers and early invested
$1,000 in the RUrdI venture of your village
which in due time of course will whoop 'em
up for the Brattleboro statesman. Possibly
the Newport Express would favor ID. NJ
Camp, but think such man as Walton or
Swain would bring to the executive chair
the confidence of the entire people. For
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the nest seems to be in
Burlington. Editor Benedct's name has
been mentioned and no doubt he is the
choice of the Free Press. Colonel L. A.
Woodbury. would be supported by the Clip
per. and the colonel generally goes in to win
when he goes; and have noticed the name
OF General Henry, now mayor of that city,
mentioned, and most favorably, by several
of the state papers. The general was a
Waterbury boy, has only friends where he
is known, and am assured he would have
the support of his own county and vicinity
3" by large majority" If elected, he would
fill the bill, as he has every office en-
trusted to him. For one l say let us not
elect man governor or leutenant-governor
just because he wants the Office but because
the people want he should have it. Hence
| say, give the ambitious rest.

PRINCE FERDINAND of SaXe-Coburg
Gotha, who has assumed the throne of
Bulgaria, is Hungarian by descent
and nationality, and is allied by birth
and marriage with the royal families of
several European powers. He is
twenty-seven years of age and has the
reputation of being well-educated and
clear-headed. The Prince has the favor
of Austria, England and Italy, and
probably of Germany. Thus far Russia
stands alone in protesting against his
occupation of the throne. The Car
will have to make the best of the situa-
ton. The position of ruler of Bulgaria
is not pleasant one, though Ferdinand
has the support and good will of the
Bulgarian people.

supreme court Judge. The convention
was thoroughly representative of the
great republican party of Pennsylvania,
and the platform adopted was entirely
and uncompromisingly republican. 1t
favors tariff for the sake of nurturing
American manufactures until the in
dustries and resources of this country
furnish us people with every item of
consumption they can naturally pro-
duce and for the purpose of protecting
home labor against foreign labor, as
well as its products. Other republican
principles and doctrines are clearly
enunciated. The propriety and wis
dom of republican conventions this
year declaring their preferences for
presidential candidates seem to us
doubtful. Nevertheless the Pennsyl-
vania republicans have seen fit to fol-
low the example of the Ohio republic
cans in this respect. Their conven-
ton unanimously adopted, as part of
the platform, recommendation of the
nomination of James G. Blaine, in the
following words: "The republicans of
Pennsylvania, the native state of Hon.
James G.. Blaine, will view with high
pleasure his nomination for the presi-
dency in the campaign of 1888. Acct
dent cannot abate the love of great
party nor the admiration of great
people for statesman true alike to his
convictions and to his country" The
alphabet of faces " made by the
mugwumps over this unexpected ac-
ton of the Pennsylvania republicans
would furnish rich material for comic
paper, for they have been declaring of
late that Mr.. Blaine has "lost his
grip" on Pennsylvania.

Cleveland Weaker than i'm 1884.
New York Tribune.


% Mr.. Cleveland is weaker, first, because
he has failed to keep his pledges to citizens
who wanted non-partisan civil service.
This failure is laboriously excused by the
professional refOrmers, but even by them is
yet sadly admitted. (2) He is weaker be-
cause he has declared hostility to the cause
of protection, to which he was induced to
pretend adherence in "A speech just before
the election of 1884. He was told that he
must make such a speech or be defeated
His course as President has warned manu-
facturers and workmen alike that protection
of home industry cannot be expected to con-
tinue, if he can gain reelection with a con-
gress to support him. (3) He is weaker be-
cause he has kindled the intense hostility to
him and his administration of those who re-
sent British influence in American govern
ment. The course of the secretary of state
and of Minister Phelps. the treatment of the
fishery question and the eXtradition ques-
ton have vastly increased the number of
those who will vote next time to secure an
American administration for the country.
az he is weaker because his appointments
have offended most of the active workers of
his party. That was inevitable, in any case
since he could not appoint more than
small fraction of those who wanted office
But he has contrived to make Mr. Manning
and other friends of Mr.. Tilden's his ene-
mics, to atfront his party by fragrant nep-
otism and personaism in many appoint
ments and at the same time TO anger it by
pretences of VirtuOuS devotion to reform.

Is weaker because he has insulted Union
men, and especially the veterans of the
loyal service, by his pension votes, his order
to surrender rebel flags and his selection of
the most conspicuous traitors for high honor
and trust. (6) He is weaker because he has
disappointed the hopes of honest democrats

THE complete returns of the Ken
lucky election show the following re-
suit on governor: Buckner (demo-
craD, 144,Gl9; Bradley (republican),
127 ,G04; Fox prohibition), s, 400; Cardin
Qabor), 4,4S7 Buckner has 17,Ol5
plurality, but his majority over all is
only 4 ,12S. No wonder that the demo-
Gratis are apprehensive about the pros
poets in Kentucky next year. The
growth of republican strength in that
state is the effect of popular uprising
against the free-trade sentiments of the
democratic leaders, which has not yet
reached its elimination. Changes much
smaller than those witnessed in Ken
lucky will make Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Tennessee
surely republican in 1888.
